How hard would it be to have CMUD serve the mud?
I can almost see how i would display things via my own settings..

But how would I get them to connect to my system and access a package securely?

CMUD would never work as a MUD server. It's completely different.

There are several out of the box pre-made MUDS out there that you can install on your computer for free.

One I have tried before is called CoffeeMud.

Maybe not in the traditional sense... but all it really needs to do to serve as a MUD is #PRINT messages to their screen and do some behind the scenes calculations.... i really don't see why CMUD -couldn't- do that much.

Room descriptions could be shown as if they are exploring your map in offline mode. The multiple location objects should make that easier.

a) CMUD is a client, not a server. A TCP/IP server is completely different than a TCP/IP client.
b) A server needs to be very efficient. It needs to be compiled and not scripted.
c) A MUD server needs to be able to handle multiple players at one time, all in different rooms. The mapper in CMUD would not be efficient for this
d) A MUD is much more than just a map. MUDs have player records with player attributes (hp, etc), a mob database, etc, etc

As I said:
